LightHearted Musings - I Hope You Dance
Posted by Dr. Molly Roberts on January 4th, 2009

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance. I hope you dance!

–Lee Ann Womack

This week’s LightHearted Musing comes to you courtesy of our daughter, Rebecca. All of our kids are amazing writers. They each bring a unique voice and style to their writing, and when we see a particularly good one, we will share their version of LightHearted Musings with you. Rebecca wrote this one on a night when there was a dance at school that she wasn’t attending. We thought it was beautiful, and we hope you agree.

You don’t need a pretty venue to dance and have fun!!!!

The most fun you can ever have dancing are the spontaneous moments when you hear music and are so compelled by the sounds that you feel as though, if you don’t dance that second, you might explode.

The pure joys in life erupt from those few moments of utter freedom when nothing matters but you, the music, and the heart and soul that is poured into just moving and feeling and dancing- enjoying yourself, life and the freedoms that allow for such spontaneity!

I just had one of those moments, and I probably looked like an idiot to Jake (Rebecca’s brother) and Sam (their friend) who bore witness to it, but none of that mattered!!!!

Life is amazing! If you don’t grab at those moments, and if you forget to really experience the music, than you will forget why you are even alive to begin with! Grab these moments! Remember them! And whatever you do, never stop dancing!

  1. Hi Rebecca!
    Love your post.
    Great advice and I’ve been caught quite a few times doing a little dance move here and there. It does put smiles on everyone’s faces, including my own. :)
    Thanks a bunch for sharing.
    Gina
